    My brother and I played a round of golf at the Pete Dye River Course last summer on a shorter road…read moretrip we took. We both loved the course! We had an afternoon tee time at 2:30 and just about had the course to ourselves. It took us until the 15th hole to catch groups in front of us and we never saw anyone playing behind us. Their twilight rates made the course relatively inexpensive. As far as the actual course goes, it's absolutely beautiful. The scenery is amazing as you play many holes right along New River. It was peaceful and relaxing to hear the sound of the moving water. The course played so well. Some holes were a little tough, but I'd expect no different since it's a Pete Dye design (RIP). This course had been on my state-by-state golf course bucket list for a long time so I was glad to have gotten to check it off. I could see myself going on a trip to go play there again down the road!

    This is a fantastic track. The views from the clubhouse are gorgeous. Either side overlooks both…read morenines which are way down below on the riverbed. One of the flatter courses I've ever been to as well. The routing is very well done and the river can come into play quickly on a few holes. Not many trees except on the edges of the property. Pete Dye uses mounding (eyebrows) on the far side of his fairway bunkers to play tricks with you visually. I actually liked it. From above they seem like little dabs of paint on a beautiful canvas. If you are at the far side of one, it's easy to get out but you can also roll against that raised face and have to go out sideways. Honestly sometimes playing down the wrong hole is the easier way to get to your green. All the holes are memorable but take the time to climb some stairs to get to some of the raised tee boxes for the championship tees, they have the best views. As with most Pete Dye tracks, the greens have shaved sides where you golf ball can end up far below the level of the green so be careful. Middle of the green isn't a bad place to be. Up above (maybe 80+ feet above the course?) you have the clubhouse. The pro shop was decently stocked but the person working there seemed more annoyed by any questions I had about the merchandise and pricing. The starter, however, was excellent. The practice green gives you a good sense of what you will face on the course. There is also a practice chipping green/bunker area and a small driving range. There seemed to be a learning center on the far side as well. I played as a single on a summer Sunday afternoon and got around in 2 hour and 20 minutes. Had to play through two groups but that's making good time. Next time I hope to walk this course. The only brutal part would be the long climb back up the hill. I definitely hope to be back.

    First of all, we met some locals who are retired name Garland and Mike. Two class acts who allowed…read moreus to Join up with them due to a frost delay. They were gems and showed us where, why and how of the course. Great company for sure. Now I like to think I am a good golfer (hit long off the tee and fairly accurate with a good short game) 11 handicap...Thus course had some major league elevation...Not a poppy Ridge out in Livermore, CA but there were hills. My drives were freaking huge...Regulation was hit in most cases and I even drove two Par 4s...What killed me were the greens...Not only were the fairways elevated so were the greens!!!! It is narrow so if you are a sprayer like my cousin, you will get frustrated. Alas, lack of familiarity of the course did me in and I shot an 89. Keep in mind the slope is a tough 126...Average is 113 in America. Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton, CA is 131 and is a very hard course and I shot 2 strokes better there; it was the home course of LPGA Pro and Asst. Captain of the Solheim Cup Champion team of 2024. I shot an 87 at Castlewood which is also a tour length course but here ai shot an 89! It is a tough little course but the company was exceptional. Thank you Garland and Mike! Only hit was that the greens were not Maintained well enough but it is winter. I get to knock West Virginia off my list of Places I have golfed...I would like to come back and play this again for sure.

    Nice golf course, good prices! Very hilly and had some water issues but definitely worth the money!read more

    A group of us came here for a weekend of fly fishing the Jackson River... This Inn sits on an 18…read morehole golf course, right on the banks of the Jackson River, so river access was easy, just a short walk from the Inn. The Inn offers all the amenities of a rental home (fully stocked kitchen with two fridges and two dishwashers, dishes, etc), large dining room table, plenty of seating and a couple of quiet rooms to relax. The bedrooms were large, there were at least 9 of them and each had their own full bath. Comfortable temperatures from their HVAC throughout the entire house. Overall, the Inn was a comfortable way to relax after a day of fishing. There was also a grill outside and a fire pit. The location is just about 10 mins from downtown Covington, not far from other fishing areas, like Lake Moomaw and the dam there. There's plenty of parking and they have an amazing restaurant onsite, a quick walk from the Inn that's highly recommended! I look forward to returning!!

    This review is for the brewpub/restaurant and not the golf or fly fish inn…read more Recently, the brew pub opened up serving dinner. We had heard good things so we tried it on a Friday evening. When we got there, the place was pretty empty as a storm had run some golfers away from the pub. We had a chips and salsa appetizer and we both had the gouda burger with bacon jam. To our delight, the food was excellent. We talked some with managers and they have added many things to the menu. I am honestly looking forward to going back and trying something different next time. The beer selection is not much craft beer, but has some good staples- shock top, vienna lager, etc. There is plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. There is a fire pit outside along with horseshoes and corn hole boards. They have tried to make it very family friendly We will definitely be going back!!

    I am not sure the average Yelper is going to make it this deep into the WV mountains to play golf…read morebut this course is pretty darn nice. They took an old 'mountain top mine' and made it into a Links style golf course. The layout is well put together. In spots the course is wide open but there are areas that because of the local snakes they advise you don't go looking for you ball. The club house is okay for the location of the course. You actually drive by mining trucks to get to the top where the course is located. This course is a great use of some land that otherwise would have not been used. 'A gem amongst all the coal!'

    Twisted Gun is more of a professional golf course. It's beautifully laid out on top of the…read moremountain, which was once a strip mine but was reclaimed. It has the type of fairways that you only see on pro tour courses. The greens are huge and normally fast. Plenty of hazards like sand traps and water. The only thing missing are trees. The fairways are long so anyone expecting a good score better be able to hit the long ball. The course is well maintained. Has a driving range as well as a practice green. It's an easy course to follow as there are hard top cart paths that lead to the next hole like a links course. Beautiful scenery with lots of wildlife to be seen. It has one restroom on each 9 holes made from a train caboose which adds a nice touch. The main thing to avoid are missing the fairways as the roughs are small and hitting past the rough is a lost ball. The tall grasses past the fairways make finding a ball almost impossible. The people running the club house are super friendly. I guess the only down side to playing this course is getting to it, lol. You have to drive on some very narrow roads that have sharp curves that wind all the way back to the top where the golf course is located. Still this is my favorite course of any others within 50 miles of my location. If you love golf as much as I do you owe it to yourself to go try Twisted Gun at least once. Thanks!
